Interviewed by journalist Mohamed Elshinnawi for Voice of America’s “Africa News Tonight” on 2 December, founder of Libya-Analysis LLC Jason Pack discussed the renewed interest of the United States in Libya. Pack notes that over the course of the past weeks, the U.S demonstrated a renewed willingness to engage in Libyan affairs. For Pack, the U.S renewed intention to play a role in the resolution of the Libya crisis can be understood as Washington’s reaction to reports about growing Russian presence and influence in Libya.
